Implications of a coaction cardioid in patterns of psychosocial exploitation and connectedness.

Introduction

14 Feb 2026 – The erosion of trust and commitment is currently of considerable concern with respect to long-term international treaties and “special relationships”. A case was previously made for comparing the acceptability of such breaches by comparison with the mindset regarding marital commitments “until death do us part” — in the light of the incidence of divorce, notably in the USA. Such breaches also merit exploration in the light of widespread concern with current scandals of elite pedophilia — exemplified by the role of Jeffrey Epstein and the challenges to Western elites of the release of the Epstein files — however questionably and heavily redacted are those released (Geopolitical Breach of Commitment in the Light of Divorce, Pederasty and Pedophilia, 2026).

That exercise, together with its visualizations with the aid of AI, concluded by noting the unexplored Recognition of experiential perspectives of predator and prey within a coaction pattern (2026). Although highlighted in declarations and anecdotes, these had not evoked a more systematic approach to their cognitive implications, whether individually or collectively. Reference was made to the possibility of framing them more generally through the coaction cardioid elaborated by  Edward Haskell in his exploration of the predator-prey dynamic (Full Circle: The Moral Force of Unified Science, 1972), as developed by Timothy Wilken (The Relationship Continuum, 2002; Synergic Containment of Adversary Events, 2023). This had been adapted to the challenges of sustainability (Cardioid Attractor Fundamental to Sustainability: 8 transactional games forming the heart of sustainable relationship, 2005). In a previous exchange with AI the memorability of the cardioid dynamic had been extensively evoked (Modes of memorability of complexity distinguished in a “commemorative cardioid“, 2023).

There is a degree of irony that the commitment concerns have arguably peaked at a time in which a heartfelt perspective is celebrated worldwide (under considerable commercial pressure) through engagement with Valentine’s Day — and the arrows of Cupid with which it is iconographically associated.

Aside from the considerable preoccupation with the cardiovascular health of individuals, the heart is widely employed as a fundamental symbol of healthy emotional relations, particularly in framing the compassion for others — as in Christian references to the “Sacred Heart”. The dynamics of the heart invite exploration of the systemic insights which they may imply or can be considered to represent in some way, as discussed with respect to the Heartfelt dynamics of psychosocial significance (Comprehension of the Sustainability of Elusive Fourfold Dynamic, 2025).

Especially curious is widespread support for policies with regard to “others”, framed by critics with the metaphorical reference to “heartless” — as contrasted separately with references to “headless” (Encompassing the “headless hearts” and “heartless heads” through their dynamic entanglement, 2018). Given anxieties expressed globally with regard to nuclear war — and World War III — the collective stress can be speculatively associated with a trigger for Armageddon, however that singularity might be understood (Spontaneous Initiation of Armageddon — a heartfelt response to systemic negligence, 2004; Emerging Memetic Singularity in the Global Knowledge Society, 2009).

The following exercise takes the exploration of the potential cognitive and symbolic implications of the heart even further in the light of the degree to which it features in the playing card suits familiar worldwide — as previously considered (Distinguishing normality using playing card suits as a pattern language, 2015; Cognitive engagement with complexity through articulation of the heart pattern in playing cards, 2018). The suggestion is that such familiarity is indicative of an intuitive recognition of systemic dynamics — as yet to be comprehensibly articulated — namely a pattern of connectedness.

The facilities of AI are employed experimentally below to develop visual animations which facilitate such comprehension — if only for mnemonic purposes and to frame more focused discussion. By integrating the predator-prey dynamics framed by Haskell and Wilken, such animations are seen as relevant to “predation” as practiced by individuals and collectives in their problematic treatment of others — allowing for subtler understanding of the complicity of all..

That association is further developed through recognition that the collective analogue to individual pedophilia, understood in the light of the predator-prey dynamic, could be appropriately reframed as a form of reversion to the “hunter-gatherer” dynamic (metaphorically understood) — especially in the light of the human trafficking dimension that has now become only too evident. It also proved appropriate to generalize the argument beyond the initial focus to address “producer-consumer” and “love-hate” dynamics — especially in the light of the current preoccupation with “hate-speech” in the absence of any legislative reference to “love-speech”.

The coaction cardioid framework evoked insightful commentary on the reframing the desperate quest for unity in governance and on the potential implications for comprehension of future institutional viability.

The initial exchanges with AI reproduced in what follows include the concluding exchanges of the previous exercise — in order to provide continuity to the argument (which did not include the associated images, as presented below). AI responses have been included (rather than excluded) as an indication of the animation design process (of potential interest to some). As previously noted AI responses could be edited for various purposes. Their presentation below bears witness to the potential of such exchanges at this time — as a means of encouraging further iterations by readers. The AI proved to be appropriately complicit in the aesthetic conceit offered symbolically by the date of posting.
